Hi Bob, sorry for the delay, AOPA Summit and preparing for NBAA.
The following is what we have on file for the San Pedro airport: Airport identifier - SPO N 17° 54' / W 087° 58' RWY 6/24, 3,500' X 60', Paved Elevation 4' No turbojets allowed
Observations: The departure end of runway 06 tapers into a taxiway that leads into the commercial ramp for the local airlines which use Cessna Caravans and Gippsland AV8's. The local pilots do not do a very good job of announcing on the UNICOM (122.8) so keep your eyes and ears open. Also, they prefer to land on 06 and roll right into the taxiway and depart on 24 regardless of the winds. They usually go in waves - 4-5 caravans will land and depart within a 5-10 minute window and they may be departing into landing traffic if you are flying a normal pattern based on prevailing wind. You will need to park on the grass to one side of the taxiway and make sure that your aircraft is pushed back sufficiently so that you do not have any interference of the wings of the C208's as they taxi by. I have posted photos of the runway and airport in the photo gallery for you.
